Bad experiences as a drummer
This thread should be interesting. What are some bad experiences you’ve had as a drummer?
Last March I got a call from a praise and worship group that needed a drummer for some studio time. The leader of the group sent me the music ahead of time. I get to the studio, get set up, and come to find out only the musicians knew the songs. He didn’t share the music with his vocalists.
We decide to try to cut tracks and the guitar player is all over the place in regards to tempo. They wanted to play without a click. The engineer asked if I could play to a click and I told him yes. He told the band the best thing to do is to play to one and just follow me.
That turned into a disaster which led to me getting frustrated and walking out simply because this group didn’t take the time to rehearse the songs before they came to the studio.
